Photo Books—Share the Story Behind the Photo Tuesday, July 17th @ 2pm
Preserve more than your photographs, preserve the stories too. Digital scrapbooking, or photo books, are the newest level of scrapbooking and are quickly becoming the best way to preserve those family photographs. It's also a great way to share the images with family, friends or your local archives! Museum of Dufferin (formerly Dufferin County Museum) will show you how to make sure those precious images are saved, both the old ones and the new ones. Call YOUR Library at 519-925-2168 to register.
New Community Initiatives
Shelburne Market Bags… YOUR Library Supports Green Thinking. The “Green Thinking” reusable bags will be available outside the Library, and you can fill it with wonderful fresh produce, baking, etc., at the market. We now have 10 community members creating these bags. Join in the fun!
Poppy Garden of Remembrance: Our second community initiative already has over 20 members knitting and crocheting poppies which will be attached to stems and provide a beautiful display of respect and remembrance for our veterans on Remembrance Day. We have the kits with patterns and yarn available at the Library and are gathering the completed poppies to create the display. Drop by the library to pick up a kit and join this special community initiative.
Teen Scene:
Teen Summer Reading Challenge: There is less than a week left before the 2018 TSRC Launch Party (Tuesday, July 10th, 4:00-5:00pm)! Teens will be able to pick up their summer reading packages, which will include everything they need to successfully complete the TSRC. Additionally, we will create our own planets on canvas by learning the acrylic pouring technique. If you aren't familiar with that painting technique, look it up because you will be amazed at the results! Like previous TSRCs, there will be several activities that require registration as we need some notice to be adequately prepared for the events. You'll be able to register online for these events, too, so watch our Facebook page and website for those links.
